II November, 1886, meeting was held

That was four months ago To-day the

BOB yAYLOR,g MISTAKE.


/ Popular favor is tickle and the hero Of
to-day is liable to be roundIy abused to-
morrow by the very people who were
lately laudest in appIauding him. Some
times thia is 20 fault of the hero's for the
public is an eXacting master and its iudg-
mentS are not always infallible or just.
Again, the man who holds and for the
time being merits confidence and popu-
larity sometimes makes q misstep and
literally pTejudices his own cause. These
reflections find Illustration just now in
the case Of Governor Robert Taylor Of
Tennessee, whose canvass last summer
against his own brother, also al aspirant
for the goVernOrship Of the same state,
attracted the attention Of the whole
country. The new and peaceful "war Of
the rOses' was the theme Of the press
and everybody read calf and Bob's"
speeches. The Tennessee Democrats went
wild over Bob Taylor, the Democratic
brother. As one man they put their
shoulders to the wheel and rolled up an
overwhelming majority that put Brother
Bob in the gubernatorial chair. Now it
happened, strangely enough, that the
Blair educational bill, or the priucIple il
Evolved in that measure, was the chief
issue between the two parties in the Ten
nessae canvass. The Republicans and
Alf Taylor favored it, Of course, and it
was limited that Bob Taylor, at heart, had
similar predictions. But the Demo-
cratic platform on which Bob was nUmi-
mated did not favor the measure, and
the Democrats naturally expected their
nominee TO accept his party's views.
When he was inausurated Governor the
Democratic brother showed his colors,
and justified the hints that had been
heard during the canvass. He made no
c0rCe4lment Of his favor Of the Blair
bill; he let his views be known officially
and semi-ofllcisIy, and il is said that in
his appointments of public school officials
he has given the preference to men who
are advocates of federal aid TO general
education. The Tennessee Democrats
are disappointed, and judging from the
expressions one gets through the press of
the state they are disgruutleG to an
extent that if Bob Taylor were g candi-
date tomorrow for the Democratic nom
nation he couldn't get 1t. Such is life,
and such are tie workings Of politics.
The moral is that no man can be stronger
than his party and weed his own row
outside the party traditions and declara-
tions. II he tries to do so he can look
forward with absolute certainty TO the
time when the party will leave him alone
in his giory-and q politician without a
party is worse off than the traditional
pcor man at the frolic.

A Chance to zee Mercury.
Providence Journal, Febr airy "a.

Providence Journal, Febr airy "a.
Mercury is evening star until March 81,
and after that time becomes morning star.
On March 8, atII o'clock in the evening
he reaches his greatest eastern eloDgation,
being 49, IA east of the sun. He is then
st his greatest distance from the sun, and
under the most favorable conditions that
will occur during the year for being seen
with the naked eye. Intelligent and care
full observers will be sure to find him, and
q sight of the swiit-foOted planet is worth
8ll the trouble it costs. Mercury sets or
the 9Th, an hour and half after the sun.
He must be looked for IN. the west, about
three-qUarters of an hour after sunset,
snd will be visible MOI Cu.y at his eastern
elOpgation on the 9Th, but for week be
fore and sitter that event; though swift OF
foot and feet of wing, he changes his
position ct every reappeaT6nCe. ObScT-
Vers should note carefully the point Of
the horizon where the sun went down.
Mercury will be found oa the 9Th g north
OF that point, and in a northeast direction
from the sun. Venus will be an excellent
guide in pointing out his position, for on
the 9th she is less than 30 southeast of
him. An opera glass sweeping the sky
northwest Of Venus will be sure to bring
Mercury into the field, and his position
being thus fixed, he will be readily visible
to the unassisted eye. The western sky
must be cloudless and the atmosphere
clear to make the search successful.

THE TOUD0O DOCTOR.
The King Negro Shows His Power by Poi
coming Little Children,

MILLED GA, March 16.-FulleI
details of the poisoning of the family OF
John Harris ere now in. In little two
room cottage on Mrs Morris plantation,
in one room lies John Hsrris, his wife
and one child, while in two beds in an
other room are three Childrea. On q
table is child waiting to be laid in a
collin and to be buried Oy the side Of its
sister. This is the situation in which
your correspondent found the I'M
fortunate family yesterday. One
child died while he was there,
and four others were IN diving
condition when he left last night. The
dead at present are Fannie, Peter and
Matte HerriS Those whose death is an
tiCipated st any moment are John, tae
wife, Henrietta, Mari, Joseph and Vine
Those who may possibly recover are
John, Ids, Lulu and Fletcher. A visit
to the scene reveals the fact
that jim Bonner, the vCuj0O doctor, is
king among the negroes IF that section.
His name alone brings fear to the faces Of
this ignorant and superStitiOUs people
Nothing can be learned from them con
corning MIN. They are afraid he will
bring the same aff1jCtiOn upon them if
they talk Gbout his power. Suspicion
rested upon him from the beginning, and
Intelligence detained from Ed Young, 3
negro from the game plantation, makes
the evidence against Bonner very
strong. Bonner claims to have
the power to cure his victims
and Young told MIN John Harris did not
believe he could cOrjure or cure people.
Bonner then said: cali right; he may
not believe in my power, but l will show
him" Another spark OF evidence is that
BonucT's wife is 8 sister of Henrietta
Harris, and has not visited the family
until last evening. On being asked why
she had not paid more attention to her
sister, she said: IL thought they all had
scarlet fever, and was afraid to go about
them"
This, Of course, was not trIe, for every
body knew what was the matter with the
family. On Sunday tAe sheriff arrived at
the scene to arrest John Bonner aud
probably others.

IT is pleasant TO turn away from Henry
Georges revolutionary land ideas and
read what he hiss to say of other topics.
In a recent number of his paper, the
Standard, he says:
As "a abst act proposition nothing can be
clearer tn IN that any combination 10 interfere
vita the ,rfec freedom Of anyone to manage
a lawful business, or by means of threat or in
jury or loss, r. by Interference with property
or tiafic, to dictate how such business shall be
conducted. ought to be punishable by law. 1t
is time for the labor associations 10 face this
fact and 10 Consi1er it sob rly.
Mr. George does good service to the
men whom he represents, for the labor
problem will never be settled upon any
other basis than the acknowledged right
Of employers to hire whom they please,
discharge whom they please and to pay
the rate of wages that is determined by
the supply and demand.

A Terrible Surgical Operation.
A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press OF February
IS, 1888, Published an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused q great
conmotion among medical men through
out the whole country, DR.. Thayer, the
most eminent surgeon IN Cleveland, pro-
nouncing il sc2ndalous. 1t appears that
Mira. King had been suffering for many
years from some disease of the stomach,
which had resisted the treatment Of all the
physicians IN attendance The disease
commenced with a slight arrangement of
the digestion, with a poor appetite, fol-
lowed by peculiar indescribable distress
in The stomach, a feeling that has been
described as a faint sail gone" sell
sation, sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing disagreeable taste.
This sensation was not removed by food,
but, or the contrary it was increased.
After awhile the hands and feet became
cold and sticky-a cold perspiration.
There was constant tired and langujd
feeling. Then followed dreadful ner-
vousness, with gloomy torebOdinss.
Finally the patient was unable to retain
any food whatever, and there was con-
slant pain in the abdomen All pre-
scribed remedies falling to give relief, s
consultation was held, when it was de-
c!ded that the patient had q cancer in the
stomach, and in order to save the pa
TENTS life an operation was justifabIe.
Accordingly, on the 22d of: February,
1888, the operation was performed by Dr..
Vance in the presence Of DR.. Tuckerman,
DR.. Perrier, DR.. Arms, Dr.. Gordon, DR..
Capner aud DR.. Halliwell Of the police
board. The operation consisted in lay
ing open the cavity of the abdomen and
exposing the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examthatisna Of TIE
organs was made, but to.the horror and
Atsmsy of the doctors th&fe was 10 can
Ger to be found. The patient did not
haye cancer. When TO late the medi-
cal m1spedtsoovered that they had made
terrible mistasAs. but they sewed the
parts together and, dressed the wound !

hours. How. sad it must be for the hus-
band of this PoOr woman to know that
his wife died tzeln the effects OF surgf-
cal operation that saBght never to have
been performed. If this woman had
taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration Gor this was
what the disease really was, she would
have been living to-day. SHAKER
EXTRACT OF Roofs, OR SEIGEL's
CURATIVE SYRUP, a remedy made
for Dyspepsia or In
hiss restored many such
csses to perfect health after all other
kinds OF treatment have failed. The evil
dence of its efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be published
here: bat those who read the published
evidence in favor of this dyspeptic rene
dy do not question its convincing nature,
and the article has an extensive sale.
